United States Boston University researchers on the latest research findings, a class named "EUK-400 series" synthetic compounds to prevent radiation injury caused to the human body. Preliminary experiments show that this class of compounds made of oral agents can effectively prevent radiation injury.
Human exposure, the body produces free radicals, etc., on the kidneys, lungs, skin, intestinal, brain, causing varying degrees of damage. Boston University researchers in the new issue of the journal on Bioinorganic Chemistry reported that their synthetic compounds of this class are antioxidants, you can effectively protect human tissue is not affected by the damage of free radicals and so on.
Prior to this, the research team had to synthesize compounds of radiation injury, but must use injection, so in practice is very limited. And use the "EUK-400 series" compounds made from pharmaceutical oral is valid once the sudden radiation accident, short time to take a large number of persons affected by radiation, greatly improving processing time.
Usually, the human body is subjected to radiation for months or even years after the injury occurred. The research team said that their current research and development of oral medication, even at the radiation before taking it and can effectively prevent radiation injury.
